How to use SNMP to monitor for a panic?

Hi folks,

I'd like to have my assorted monitoring tools use SNMP to trap next time a
machine panics, so that they can page me. We're walking thru the sun-snmp
mib to see what a good way to do this is, and thinking maybe just monitoring
the status of init would do it. But I'd like some advice on how other
people are doing this (specifically, monitoring kernel/init status, rather
than just pinging the nic, which we already do)...it's a murky, confusing
swamp, and of course since I had a panic last night I have to get it working
ASAP.

thanks for any advice!
Mary
